"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

Jin Wenhai, who was stunned by the cannonball, was lying on the side of the street after opening his eyes, and tried to shake his head to throw out the roar in his ears, but he shook his head for a long time and still buzzed, looking at the bubble in the exposed ditch outside the street in front of him, I don't know how long the pile of stool, Jin Wenhai was very strange and did not feel nauseous, lying on the ground, he just wanted to stand up, and saw that the brick wall of the shop a few meters away from him was blown down, and the flying bricks and soil accompanied by thick yellow smoke instantly flooded the not spacious street.

"Is there a living person?"

Picking up the G43 semi-automatic rifle from his side as a cane to prop up his body, he stood up, walked step by step behind the pile of bricks, and looked at the street in front of him that had become a ruin Jin Wenhai was a little panicked, the scene in front of him was no longer the town that Jin Wenhai saw this morning, at this time what appeared in front of him was only a town that was blown into ruins by artillery fire. He squinted his eyes and endured the choking smell of gunpowder smoke on the street, Jin Wenhai shouted loudly.

Today is 3 October, and it has been more than half a month since the Japanese army launched its attack on the Third Army. In the past half month, the Third Army has gone from being able to passively defend to the current active offensive, and the Japanese offensive has long since ceased, not only did they fail to take Jiaxing and Huzhou, but they lost their troops and lost their generals, and the 15th and 16th divisions attacking Jiaxing were beaten and forced to retreat to Suzhou, and the other attacked Jiashan County, but instead ended up with heavy losses and had to retreat gloomily.

Of course, Su Jin was not a person who only took a beating and did not fight back, the Japanese fleet was attacked by submarines, several troop carriers carrying the landing force were sunk, and most of the landing force on it lost most of them and had to withdraw to the mainland for rest. In this case, Su Jin transferred the 349th Division that originally defended Taizhou and Ningbo to Jiaxing, in addition to leaving a brigade stationed in Jiaxing, the remaining troops and the 347th Division advanced towards Shanghai together, in this case, the Japanese immediately panicked, Shanghai is an international metropolis, if the Japanese even lose Shanghai, then the Japanese government will not talk about face, I am afraid that even the lining will be gone. In this case, both the Japanese base camp and the headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army issued an order to "defend" Shanghai no matter what.

Under this order, the Japanese went crazy and desperately increased their troops to Shanghai, the 11th Division stationed in Huai'an, the 116th Division stationed in Huainan, the 33rd Division stationed in Jinan, Shandong, and even the First Army stationed in Shanxi sent the 3rd Independent Brigade to Shanghai for emergency reinforcements.

In this case, Su Jin did not panic, he had only one order, to advance steadily. At the same time, Su Jin issued another ******, preparing to set up three more national police divisions, seeing Su Jin put on a posture of wanting to fight to the death with the Japanese, the Chongqing government was happy but also secretly worried, if Su Jin lost this time, then Zhejiang, the only foreign communication channel in China, may fall into the hands of the Japanese army again, but if Su Jin wins, then the Chongqing government's restraining force on Su Jin will be even lower.

"Still panting?"

Jin Wenhai shouted again, but there was still no sound around.

In desperation, Jin Wenhai walked forward dozens of meters with his rifle, and just as he turned a street corner, a burst of gunfire came.

"Dash...... Dada......"

The bullet hit a ruin not far from Jin Wenhai, raising a cloud of dust, and Jin Wenhai, who immediately reflexively fell down after hearing the gunshot, quickly rolled several times in a row and hid behind a pile of ruins. And when Jin Wenhai poked his head out from behind the ruins and looked around the corner of the street, he saw two corpses covered in blood and gray military uniforms lying on the street, and when he saw the corpse closest to him, his eyes immediately turned red, and the corpse was none other than his deputy squad leader. From his point of view, his deputy squad leader was almost torn to pieces by machine gun bullets, it seems that he was trying to force the machine gun position of the Japanese army and was hit by the body of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the posture of seeing the corpse fall to the ground was after being broken by a machine gun bullet and then being shot by a machine gun bullet in the air for a distance of nearly two meters.

"These dog crumbs!"

Jin Wenhaihong took out the last smoke bomb from his waist and threw it vigorously into the middle of the street, and soon a thick cloud of smoke began to spread across the street, blocking all vision. As the smoke spread, the sound of Japanese machine guns also began to stop, after all, no one knew that it would be foolish to continue shooting without seeing the target.

Taking advantage of this time, Jin Wenhai ran to the corpses of the squad leader and another soldier, ripped off the metal tag around their necks and put it in his satchel, and took off a few grenades and bullets from them, and finally he hesitated and put his rifle behind him and picked up the Suomi submachine gun that fell next to the deputy squad leader, but when he pulled the bolt, he found that the submachine gun had been hit by a machine gun bullet and had been scrapped, Reluctantly, he threw away the submachine gun, and while the smoke had not dissipated, he ran forward for dozens of meters and hid in a hollow.

When the smoke had begun to dissipate after all this last night, the Type 92 heavy machine gun in front of him began to sound again, watching the rain of bullets pass over his head, Jin Wenhai was looking at how far away the machine gun was. This heavy machine gun has firmly blocked this street, and as long as you don't kill this machine gun, no matter how many people you can't rush through this street.

"Thirty meters? Forty meters? ”

Jin Wenhai squinted his eyes and thought about it, it was the task of his squad to solve this machine gun, although he didn't know where the squad leader and the others had gone, but even if he was the only one left, he had to complete the task.

He removed a Type 24 grenade, unscrewed the cap, and threw it out while the Type 92 heavy machine gun was changing the plate.

"Boom!"

When he heard the explosion of the grenade, Jin Wenhai, who was carrying a rifle, did not hesitate at all, immediately stood up and rushed over as fast as he could.

"Bumper ......"

Jin Wenhai pulled the trigger without a trace of hesitation, only two or three meters away did not need to aim at all, Jin Wenhai's bullet accurately hit the chest of the Japanese soldier covered in blood, and the Japanese soldier who was already about to stand up collapsed without saying a word.

The M24 grenade was very powerful, and when Jin Wenhai continued to rush to the machine gun position, he found that except for the Japanese soldier who was killed by himself, the remaining three Japanese soldiers had all been killed except for one who had a broken leg, and when the Japanese soldier struggled to touch the grenade on his waist, Jin Wenhai had already rushed forward, and a stab stabbed the bayonet into his chest.

Looking at the four Japanese soldiers lying in the machine gun position, Jin Wenhai spat and continued to move forward with his rifle, he wanted to find his team. At that moment, a buzzing sound came from the sky, and he looked up to see two planes with blue sky and white sun badges painted on their wings passing over his head......

"Reinforcements, I need reinforcements, Shanghai can't hold without reinforcements!"

A roar rang out in Fujita's office, and Fujita shouted at a general with the rank of lieutenant general, who was standing in front of Fujita Shin who was none other than Seishiro Sakagaki, chief of staff of the Huaxia Dispatch Army, who had just arrived from Nanjing.

Seishiro Sakagaki said with a calm face: "Fujita-kun, you must know that the reinforcements have already set off, but due to the time relationship, you have to hold on for at least three more days before the first batch of reinforcements can arrive, what you have to do now is how to use these forces in your hands to block the people of China for three days!" ”

Fujita Jin shook his head and said: "Of course there is no problem in three days, I still have the soldiers of the 12th and 4th Independent Brigades and the 16th Division in my hands, and it is no problem to hold Shanghai for a period of time with these forces." But you are asking me to hold even the Hongqiao area, how is this possible, if we disperse our forces like this, we will not be able to hold it! ”

Seishiro Sakagaki said with a straight face: "Fujita-kun, you have to make it clear, the Hongqiao area also belongs to the Shanghai area, and now the eyes of the whole world are looking at us, and the face and dignity of the empire must not be lost, so no inch of land belonging to Shanghai can be given to the people of China, can you understand when I say this?" ”

"Of course I do!" Fujita Jin said unhappily: "But Chief of Staff Sakagaki, you have to figure it out, the entire Shanghai is 636 square kilometers, and it is already very difficult to hold the downtown area of Shanghai with our current strength of less than 20,000 troops, where can we divide the extra forces to defend those irrelevant areas?" Unless there are enough reinforcements for me right now! ”

"There are no reinforcements, I said, the reinforcements will not arrive until three days later!" Seishiro Sakagaki was furious, "As the commander of the 13th Army, you have the obligation to guard Shanghai, and this is also an order from the base camp, you must carry it out!" ”

"Bastard!" Fujita was so angry that he was speechless for a while, and the headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army and the base camp viewed the issue of defending Shanghai from a political point of view, but he looked at it from a military point of view, and the two sides naturally had differences.

Seeing that Fujita Jin still looked unwilling to cooperate, Seishiro Sakagaki was also helpless in his heart, to be honest, he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of bullshit, but Nishio Shouzo threw this shit to him, so he could only pinch his nose and come to Shanghai. As a soldier, of course, he knew that from a military point of view, Fujita Jin's deployment was the most correct, but from a political point of view, Shanghai was the face of the empire, and once the Chinese entered Shanghai, no matter what the result was, the face of the empire would be lost.
